Help for my addicted daughter
My 22
year old daughter came home and told us she has been addicted to
meth for nearly 4 months now. She wants to get clean and never
use again. She wants us to help her. How do we help???? I am so
clueless!

There is life after meth and we do recover - despite what the
media would have you believe.
You have come to the right place. Good to have you

Welcome! Bring your daughter along, this forum has her name on
it. Families recover together, make this your recovery family.
Your daughters good intentions NEED a foundation to support
them, the OBSESSION to use is too much to handle without help. 4
months IS in deep!
We're here for both of you. 24/7
Tip...Recovery 101; Avoid any and ALL people, places or things
than can get us high. Or...History WILL repeat.
Guaranteed!

And ignore the "stats"
There is ONE valid statistic...your daughter.

Re: Help for my addicted daughter
Hi and
Welcome. This site will help you immensely. My son will be 20
next week and has been clean over a year. I thought I had lost
him when he was on Meth. It is a serious problem and horrible
drug. 4 months isn't very long, hopefully she will recover
quickly. Learn as much as you can.

Be glad
that she came to you for help....
Without her wanting help it would be impossible to get her to
quit.
Since she has a desire to get clean ......
That is the first thing she has to do ...admit it and seek help.

I am so glad your daughter came to you and asked for help in her
recovery.
I have a 24 year old daughter in prison for manufacturing. She
lost 3 kids because of her addiction.
But the difference was she was in denial.
I was here ready and waiting but she had to want that help and
ask for it.
What state do you live in?? I know there are people here with
links to lots of sites for help in recovery,
Stay here and read, read, read and post all you want .
Try and get her to come here. There are many here that have been
in her shoes and yours too Mom. They have recovered.
Keep coming back you will find lots of love and support right
here.

I am sorry you are going through this cause I know the pain it
causes a parent. But you are not alone.
Be glad your daughter admitted her addiction and came to you for
help.......I wish mine would have.

Hello
Frogwoman, I'm Bobbie, I came here about a little over a year
ago looking for help for my daughter too. She is now 21, You are
so lucky to have her come to you and ask for help and that in it
self is wonderful. Our daughter has been up and down, but I'm
hoping and praying that this year she will make the right
choices and live a good life.

You made a good choice coming here too, their are so many people
who will help you and there are other link's too with help,

I don't think that you can ever pray to
much.
Welcome to this site.
The great thing that I read in your post is that your daughter
asked for help. That is the only thing that you must have in
order to recover from meth.....The desire to do so.

Might I also suggest your daughter to come here and read some of
the stuff posted here. There is a ton of great info that is
passed around and its free for the taking. Any time you have a
question....and you ask, many will reply and try to help
you....were a big family here...sometimes dysfunctional...but we
still are here to support one another...Welcome.

Re: Help for my addicted daughter
Hi
Frogwoman and welcome. My name is Lori and I was addicted to
meth for 13 years; I've been clean over 10 years.

Absolutely NOT! You found us didn't you?

Luckily your daughter used for just a short period of time. That
doesn't mean she's not addicted, but it means that her recovery
will be much easier than had she used for years. I assume she is
somewhat young, and that will help in her recovery also. (I was
40 when I got clean, and after 13 years of regular use, recovery
was very difficult.)

The others have posted some good links for you to read. It's
important you understand the nature of this drug and it's
addictive powers.

Ask your daughter to come here. She should also get into a
program, ANY program. I got clean in the rooms of NA (Narcotics
Anonymous), and the 12 steps and fellowship of NA saved my life
indeed!

We can do it alone, but why? When there are so many free
programs out there, such as NA, and there are so many resources
here and elsewhere.

Lastly, if your daughter wants help from people who have been
there and done that, ask her to come here. We will take good
care of her, I promise. We are addicts, recovering addicts,
loved ones and family members of addicts, and we welcome her
with open arms and open hearts.

Re: Help for my addicted daughter
I'm shocked.
...it's a miracle.
If she wants to quit, that's all that need be.
....Do you know, I've never seen a mom want to help a kid quit
that already wants to?
these pages are FULL of:
"she won't quit, she won't listen, she's dying in front of me,
she's stealing the TV"
...stuff like that.
you are truly blessed, and the best way to go, since it's easy
like this..
is don't waste your money on rehab, let her rejuvenate in your
care, and send her to N.A. or C.M.A.
.....or I can recommend an excellent addicts board that's very
supportive.
she has to do it herself. .......you can't help.
you can give her a place to stay..
......but she has to find a new group of friends. they
should be speed freaks.
....just the non using, recovering ones. because she will
have thoughts and ideas, she'll need someone to talk to for.
educate yourself, educate her...
.......there will be phases in this journey.
we're always here.
